  2. “We also note that there are some stakeholders that are not satisfied with the outcome of the presidential election in particular and that it is within their constitutional right to present their grievances through the legal framework of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in a peaceful way. SADC remains on hand to assist the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the process of consolidating their democracy and urges the international community to give stakeholders in the country an opportunity to engage themselves and their legal institutions in the post-election period.

  3. “Notwithstanding the abovementioned and the historical challenges facing the country, our considered view is that the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Commission electorale nationale independante and all stakeholders managed the elections and the immediate post-election period relatively peacefully and in a calm atmosphere. In addition, we note that the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo funded the elections, thereby showing its commitment to consolidating the democratic process in the country. SADC has taken note of the release of the provisional results of the presidential election provided by the Electoral Commission on 9 January.”

  4. “No party could ascertain whether it was arson. On that premise, we therefore consider it an act of force majeure. Security threats and an outbreak of the Ebola virus also necessitated the postponement of the elections to March 2019 in three areas of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. In that regard, for us not to be biased, we had to receive communication from the World Health Organization, which provided us with clear statistics indicating the existence of the Ebola virus in those areas. Furthermore, there were isolated incidences of violence in a few areas of the country. Such circumstances understandably created some tension leading up to the election day on 30 December 2018.”

  5. “As you have indicated, Mr. President, I am Honourable Malanji, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Zambia and Chairperson of the Ministerial Committee of the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation of Southern African Development Community (SADC). Allow me to deliver this statement to this meeting of the Security Council. On 30 December 2018, the Democratic Republic of the Congo held its much-awaited presidential, legislative and provincial elections. In line with its long- standing tradition, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) deployed its electoral observer mission, which I had the honour to lead. The elections were postponed from 23 December 2018 following an unfortunate fire that gutted the warehouse of the Commission electorale nationale independante in the capital city of Kinshasa.”
